Meet Zoe Krushall-Jimenez | Makeup-Artist, Nail-Tech, & Hair Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Zoe Krushall-Jimenez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Zoe, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
The reason why I chose to pursue an artistic/creative career was because I like how it allows you to openly express yourself, and search for new ways to deprecate yourself from others amongst you. What you create is YOUR art. So much time, dedication, and effort goes into an artists work. I also wanted to prove a lot of people wrong. Art sells. Art inspires. Art is such a HUGE part of our everyday lives. It’s everywhere, everyone uses art. I’ve loved art since I was a little girl. My younger self would be so happy that I get to create art everyday and have made a beautiful career out of it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
BeautyByBelou’s art style is very much an in your face, sultry, soul, retro, “think outside the box” type of thing. I really like to brainstorm ideas that are going to separate myself from others. I think what sets me apart from others is that I’m always trying to try new and different things. I also try not to care what others may think, and I would have to say me offering a variety of different art styles and not just sticking to one thing. I am most proud of all the different nail art and makeup look styles that I have created. I feel that I have a pretty good range of things I can achieve when it comes to creating nail art or makeup looks. The reason why my skills are at the point of which they are today is because I practiced day and night. If you want your skills to improve you must dedicate time to practice. The only challenging thing I experienced in my journey is the urge you get to just want to give up. It can be challenging but you have to tell yourself that you are practicing and practicing for a reason. To perfect your craft. I’ve learned many lessons along the way but the main one that sticks to me is to always remain humble. You can be at the top one day and be brought back down to the very bottom the next. I want the world to know that BeautyByBelou wouldn’t be a thing without my clients, and that I Zoe strive each and every single day to provide excellent service to individuals who book services with me. BeautyByBelou loves to make individuals feel beautiful and confident, and loves to show that there are Cosmetologists that care about their clients desires.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
A good time for me would have to for sure be a girls day or a date day/night. Of course a little shopping, maybe some hot pot or seafood. I love to paint so maybe a painting lounge, or the movies. I really like to do things that require me to get creative. It’s gonna sound crazy but some of the most fun places to go are the nail supply stores all in Houston. It gets so addicting! I really just like go out with my sisters, my husband and my bestie Chelsey.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
For me I would have to dedicate a forever thank you to my husband. I could never ever repay him for the unconditional love and support that he shows for BeautyByBelou. He has played such a huge role in my story when it comes to support, love & motivation. He has been my rock throughout the whole BeautyByBelou process. He helped me discover that I wanted to switch career paths and become a Cosmetologist. He has been there through many long nights, long work days, the good days, and the days where I was ready to quit. He has helped me not give up on my dreams, and continues to watch BeautyByBelou blossom.
